Every OAS story starts somewhere.

For some, it began as an athlete. For others, as a volunteer, donor, family member, community partner, or staff member.

What was your first connection to OAS?

Image Description: Two people sit in a blue tandem kayak on calm water while smiling toward the camera and giving thumbs up. Both wear sunglasses and P-F-Ds. An orange mountain graphic stretches across the image, with green vegetation and trees in the background. Visible text reads: “Every O-A-S story starts somewhere...”

As May comes to a close, we're looking ahead to a busy week at OAS!

We'll gather with our community at the Community Golf Kickoff BBQ hosted by Sunriver Resort, head over the mountains for the McKenzie Pass Road Ride, and welcome new volunteers through Outreach & Development Orientation.

Behind the scenes, our team is also preparing for another summer of cycling, paddling, golf, camps, outreach, and outdoor adventure. Summer is almost here, and we're excited for what's ahead.

Some people spend all summer chasing dirt.
Some prefer pedaling on smooth pavement.
Some belong on the water.
Some are here for tee times and driving ranges.

At OAS, summer looks a little different for everyone. So… which summer personality are you?

Defend your choice in the comments. (And yes, choosing all four is allowed!)
